From Seven-Match Season to Magic Round: NRLW Growth on Full Display
Captains of rival NRLW teams believe that the inaugural Magic Round in Newcastle this weekend signifies the rapid progression of women's rugby league.
According to nrl.com.au, the NRLW has expanded to 12 teams in its eighth season.
All six matches will occur at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday and Sunday, allowing fans to enjoy the world's top female rugby league talent in one location.
For players who participated in the NRLW's inaugural 2018 season, which consisted of only four teams and seven matches, this first Magic Round highlights the significant advancements made since the 2017 World Cup.
On Sunday, matches will feature the Warriors facing the Cowboys, the Knights taking on the Raiders, and the Eels going against the Dragons in the Magic Round finale.
Brigginshaw, the captain of the Broncos, has observed the remarkable evolution of the sport since she first played for the Jillaroos in 2009.
